	'''Star Dasher''' is a 'bot with issues. If he has a job, he'll do it, and probably do it pretty well, but he has a need for stimulation. Something, anything to take the edge off, and can often be found indulging in [[Nightmare Fuel]], or whatever he can get his hands on. If that happens, he'll be no use to anyone. Or if there's no substances around, he'll probably do something reckless just to relieve his boredom, like fire death-balls at asteroids. Of course, there's no denying his loyalty. In fact, sometimes Star Dasher can be a little ''too'' loyal, y'know?		'''Star Dasher''' is a 'bot with issues.

	Star Dasher's [[trobulum]]-laced armor makes him a tough customer, strong enough to withstand an [[Inferno Creature]]'s fangs.
